For years we have wanted to experience the "Turning of the Leaves" in a Recreational Vehicle. After our Panama Canal trip on Insignia we saw she was cruising the Northeast in October, so we signed on. unfortunately but no fault to Oceania, the timing was a little early because of the warm weather back east. All in all it was a wonderful trip, again meeting new friends, this time from the great state of Georgia. The only disappointing subject we encountered was the Veranda A1 Stateroom (8024) was not in tip top shape as the stateroom we had on the 8th level last year. We liked the location of this stateroom so next year on our Oceania cruise to the French Polynesian Islands in May 2018, we booked the same room, and we'll find out how in touch the crew is to the little things that need to be addressed. Not the best this trip but not bad, as we have experienced the Regatta and the Riviera ships previously, it just doesn't match up.
